Case:
After earning a graduate degree in Engineering Management, Ashton began working
for PDRC International. This is a company based in the U.S. which offers engineering,
design, and construction services to countries all over the world.
Ashtonàwork is focused on international development; her first assignment is to
lead a team to develop a bid for a highway construction project in East Africa. After
the engineering proposal is submitted, Ashton is proud of the work her team has
accomplished and promises her manager she will do everything possible to make
sure that PDRC receives the contract.
1
PDRCàbid is well-received, and Ashton and her team are flown to East Africa to
finish negotiations. Ashton is thrilled when her company receives the bid; the only
stipulation is that they build their construction headquarters in a specific region in
the country. Ashton then begins scouting the region for a location to build their
headquarters.
In order to obtain building permits in the region, Ashton has to negotiate with the
local government. As she begins negotiations, she realizes that bribery is both a
common and expected practice. If she does not bribe the local officials, she will not
be able to build PDRCàheadquarters in that region and consequently will lose the
contract; her first managerial project will be a failure. However, it is illegal for a U.S.
citizen to bribe a foreign official in order to obtain business; if she is caught for
bribery, she could face jail time and her company could be fined millions of dollars.
What should she do? Relate the case with the ASME Code of Ethics
